Default Marvel Secret Invasion vs. Reality Gem

Player 1 gets hit with curse, forcing her to switch all cards in play with player to her right. Player 2 has reality gem in play, and is immune to traps. What happens?

What we did is say that, effectively, there's a wall there, o the curse dies.

Hmmm. I'm trying to dig up the relevant cards, but Player 1 was hit with a Trap, not Player 2, so the first logical conclusion would be that Player 2's carried Items don't necessarily come into it. However, assuming they did (I think we frequently do make that assumption, but I'll need to research that as well), and Player 2 is immune to the effects of a Trap, why is Player 3, to Player 2's right, also immune?

So, my first solid feeling is that I'd lean towards having Player 1 switch in-play cards with Player 3. However, I'll let my further research inform my final answer if Andrew doesn't have a more definitive assessment.

Hello, just wondering if there is a definitive answer yet. Just got hit with this combo.

As player 2 was not the specific target of the Trap, the Reality Gem would not protect them from its effects. We have ruled this way on other Curse/Trap effects in the past. (The more I think about this, the more I like it -- Reality Gem is a powerful Item and I like that it has a goofy weakness.)
